PC software so bad, BugNet refuses to post award
For the
first time since 1994, BugNet will not be issuing an award this
year. BugNet's awards go to those Windows-software
companies that have debugged their software the best during
the year. Apparently bug fix rates have declined with
every new mass market version of Windows. The article also
mentions that BugNet discovered a bug in FrontPage which
allows users to delete their entire hard drives -- including
Windows itself -- without a clear warning. Apparently they
were told this was a feature, not a bug. In related news,
NT 4.0 has failed FIPS 140-1 testing, meaning it cannot
be sold to the US or Canadian governments.
